Here's a longer feature from Grönholm's Spanish test for Subaru and Rally Portugal. There's some nice driving shots and in-car from the test.
"The feeling to driving in the test road feels quite normal but making notes might be a bit difficult - the notes can be either too slow or otherwise wrong and that can affect on the driving.
...
I haven´t set any goals for getting into points or such but of course it can be dissapointing if the speed isn´t what I want. But I don´t see any reason why the result in the rally couldn´t be quite good."
After 1'33":
"Admittedly I had an itch to get to drive again. Subaru were in contact already late last year. That was almost a done deal. Then they got enthusiastic again on the matter that we should do one rally - so why not. If it's nice and funny, why not."
After 2'06":
"The car feels rather nice at the moment after all the alterations. Perhaps - how would I say it - what'd need most driving and testing is suspension of course. There's all sorts of things to be done. But we have only limited time, so we can't do much. Biggest change for me was that we got the steering made right and that's feeling good now. That have huge impact on the driving."
Then on the subject of Ford's current Finnish double and their success. After 2'46":
"I think they've evolved a lot. Big audience may think that they can't cope with Loeb at all and that Loeb is better by far. Well, it ain't exactly like that. Loeb just can beat them also in the tight fights as well. If the difference is something like seven seconds or how it was in Norway, it means that Mikko (Hirvonen) didn't drive slowly. There's a misundestanding that the Finns wouldn't be driving well."
Then a question to co-driver Timo Rautiainen on his involvement on the comeback. After 3'20":
"I didn't think much about it. I had already promised when Marcus decided to quit that if he's ever willing to make a return - even a one-off - I'm ready to join him. So of course I joined him."
"Car is fine at the test. It turns, acts logically. Tyres are new for us, we have no experience on them. There's some grip missing from what we feel. Maybe that could be bettered by adjusting the suspension, but I think we are now quite close to settings we'll use at the rally. We'll gonna have fun and get a good result for ProDrive."
Then Grönholm on his decision to quit. After 4'02":
"At the time the decision felt right, we've had enough. After 4-5 months I got the need to get a little adreline, something to do with driving, pushing the limits. It've been difficult, but on the other hand I don't want to join the circus again with all the testing and travelling. This is fine, just a few gigs a year."
Then about the end result of Rally Portugal. After 4'32":
"I think we'll be third. That'll be as high as it can be. I don't know anything about others."
